Bengaluru, May 9 -- ADRs, or American Depositary Receipts, are financial instruments that represent shares of a foreign company and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges. They allow American investors to buy shares in foreign companies.

Each ADR represents a certain number of shares in the Indian company and pays dividends in U.S. dollars, making it easy for U.S. investors to earn from them. Which means that one ADR is linked to a specific number of shares of the Indian company - for example, 1 ADR might equal 2 or 5 actual shares in India.
